Coaches Weekend

This weekend Ryan officially became a crossfit coach at our gym. As a result, we were invited on the coaches getaway weekend. 14 of us rented a house in Pacific Beach, WA for the weekend. Ryan, Ben, and I got in late Friday night and jumped right in to some serious game playing ;)

warming up for the first workout
Saturday we had a packed day starting out with a team workout on the driveway in the morning. The owner of the gym actually brought barbells and weights with him and made us all workout. It was actually a lot of fun. After breakfast we had a long roundtable discussion on ways to improve the gym, followed by another workout...this time on the beach! Ben and one of the other coaches' dog had a blast chasing us around the beach. After the workout several of us braved the freezing cold water...at least up to our waists. Ben even followed us out into the ocean enough to the point were he was actually swimming! That's the furthest he's ever gone into water voluntarily! After we got all cleaned up, we had a very late lunch followed by a seminar on shoulder mobility. It made me realize I have a lot of work to do to make my shoulders function properly! We finished off the night with s'mores and a bonfire and probably way to much catch phrase playing into the wee hours of the night!

Sunday morning everyone packed up and headed their separate ways. Since we were already on the coast, Ryan wanted to get in a couple hours of surfing, so we headed to a surfing town a little further south and Ben and I walked the beach while Ryan practiced his surfing.

Now I'm exhausted from the weekend and back at work. It was a blast hanging out with an awesome group of people though!
Big weekend slumber party!
